Chapter 124 The Sense of Crisis of Men Protecting Their Partners
Liang Liangwei's heart suddenly raced, and she glanced sideways at the scene.
The man looked straight ahead as he spoke, his lips slightly upturned, his eyes softened, and it was clear from his expression that he was in a very pleasant mood.
He controlled the steering wheel with one hand, and even lightly tapped the wheel with his finger with considerable ease.
But why would he suddenly ask her that question?
A sudden inspiration struck me.
Could it be related to this that she always felt he was in a good mood during the meal?
She tried to recall what had happened that might have affected his mood.
Could it be that Fu Yankai's appearance triggered his sense of crisis as a male... no, a male guarding his partner?
But a sense of crisis and a happy mood are two different things, right?
Or is it simply because she is his girlfriend, and everyone else is just someone else, that he is genuinely happy about it?
While she was still making wild guesses, the man started talking to himself.
“I remember the day I returned to China was the first time we met. We hadn’t met before, right?” He raised his voice slightly, his hands not idle either, his thumb intentionally or unintentionally caressing the woman’s soft palm. “So you liked me, it must have started after that. The second time we met was in Shacheng, when you asked me to buy you coffee, was that it?”
What was she going to say?
Actually, I had designs on you from the very first glance at you in the old house.
Actually, I was quite lustful towards you that night.
[Actually, I started flirting with you the next day when you went for your morning run, but unfortunately, I didn't succeed.]
Actually, when I was pestering you for coffee in Shacheng, all I could think about was how to pounce on you...
I feel pretty shameless no matter how I think about it.
She bit her lower lip to suppress a laugh, and still had to agree with him: "Hmm...maybe, maybe the coffee you bought me had too much sugar in it, and I was so overwhelmed by the sweetness that I fell for you~"
Oh, how corny! It made her want to laugh even more.
Yan Zhixu also gave him a half-smile, then withdrew his hand and turned the steering wheel with both hands to park the car in a roadside parking space.
"arrive."
Thankfully, she arrived at her destination, otherwise she was afraid she would have been driven mad by her own nausea... no, by her own sweetness.
After getting off the bus, walk forward for a few more minutes and you'll reach the park entrance.
The park is open, and a few steps up leads to a walking platform where colorful neon lights are already lit, shining brightly in the night.
There were quite a few tourists: families with children, young couples on dates, friends playing together, and... there were even elderly people playing the erhu.
Further afield, there are even professional dance troupes of middle-aged women.
There were also a few small vendors selling food.
Anyway, it was very lively.
Liang Liangwei used to like coming here, holding hands with her friends to enjoy the breeze. Back then, there were more vendors, and they would eat at each one, buying too much to take back to their dorm for others or to eat the next day.
After graduation, I was too busy with work, and my classmates were scattered, so I lost the motivation to come here.
It's been two years since I last came here.
until today.
But today was different; the person she was holding hands with was no longer her best friend from the same dormitory, but the man she liked.
She has finally moved beyond just playing around with friends and entered into a romantic relationship with her boyfriend.
But does he like it too?
She glanced at the man beside her and, unsurprisingly, noticed his slightly furrowed brow. Though subtle, it was still there for her.
She couldn't help but smile. This man, who clearly wasn't the type to enjoy crowds, still brought her here.
While he might not be romantic, he actually did carefully observe where other couples went and what sweet things they did, and then he would take her along...
A three- or four-year-old child accidentally bumped into them and fell about half a meter in front of them. The mother quickly came over and helped the child up.
Afraid that he would get impatient, Liang Liangwei pulled his arm and walked towards the railing by the river.
The riverside was quite quiet. People standing there were either looking at the lights, taking pictures, enjoying the breeze, or... whispering to each other.
Liang Liangwei also saw that there were other people live streaming nearby.
"Where is this? It's Huacheng East Moat Park. The weather is nice today. Although it's cold, there are still a lot of people here. Look, couples! Look, children! Look, light show! There's a couple next to me. Wow, the guy is so handsome! The girl has her back to me. She must be very pretty because she has a great figure. But the handsome guy doesn't seem very approachable. I don't dare to go over and take pictures of the girl..."
Liang Liangwei laughed as she listened. Did the live streamer really think the person in question couldn't hear him?
When the other person mentioned "there is a couple next to me", Yan Zhixu quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms, which is why she was not in the live broadcast frame.
She buried her face in his chest, so she couldn't see his expression. He was probably giving her a stern warning, otherwise the other person wouldn't have said he was difficult to get along with.
She then slipped her hands through the man's coat and wrapped them around his waist.
He was wearing a pure cotton shirt underneath, and his head and cheek were pressed together. She could feel the fine fleece lining, which was soft and gentle against her skin. She could hear his steady heartbeat.
Like her, she jumped a little faster.
"Are you cold?" he asked, looking down at her, his lips brushing against her forehead.
Liang Liangwei looked up and met his gaze: "It won't be cold if we hug each other like this."
He was like a big heater, and his heat radiated to her, warming her as well.
Their eyes met, and the man's gaze deepened as he stared intently at her. After a long while, he said in a low, husky voice, "Back in the car?"
Liang Liangwei: "Why are you going back to the car? Didn't you come here specifically to see the lights? It's only been a short time!"
“You can see the lights just as well from inside the car, and—” the man chuckled, “you can do even more things from inside the car.”
The mischievous tone in his voice made her ears turn red.
She looked away from him, still angry at his flirting, and pinched the man's waist hard with the hand that was wrapped around his back.
It looks like a soft lump of flesh, but it's actually quite thick and you can't twist it at all.
But strangely, it made the man's breath catch for a moment.
The man grabbed her mischievous little hand, his voice low and husky: "On purpose?"
"It was intentional." She pushed him away, broke free from his embrace, and turned to walk in the other direction.
The man caught up with her and took her hand: "Where are you going?"
She pointed to the vendor in front of her: "Buy roasted chestnuts, they smell so good, can't you smell them?"
The sweet aroma wafted in the air; she had smelled it earlier. The greatest happiness in winter is eating something hot. She wanted to buy it as soon as she smelled it, and if it weren't for the child who had fallen earlier stopping her, she might already be eating it.
The roasted chestnut vendor was very enthusiastic: "Young lady, would you like two pounds?"
Liang Liangwei: "Two pounds is too much for me, give me half a pound."
"Okay." The vendor packed it in a bag and handed it to me.
Liang Liangwei took it and turned to look at the man with a smile.
Yan Zhixu was very perceptive; he had his phone in hand beforehand, and he scanned the code to pay as soon as she took it.
